RAF REZA

EKBAR

The first album proper from Bangladeshi-Canadian producer Raf Reza explores his obsession with all things dubwise, heavily referencing his UK connections via soundsystem culture bleep nostalgia whilst simultaneously serving as a research outlet for his fascination with late-era internet arrival in the Bangladeshi cultural landscape.

THINK OF MIST

Think of Mist is an instruction: a playful guided meditation for the listener as they enter 32 thoroughly cohesive, yet surprise-filled, minutes of music.

Lushly textured and sonically unique - turning from sprawling experimentation to unabashedly catchy bops and back again. Lyrically, these are “love songs” that move beyond typical romance into broader philosophies of desire, seeking the freedom that comes from accepting the necessary mysteries of love and life.

Cold Spaghetti

Cold Spaghetti feels decidedly home-cooked, its more idiosyncratic soundworld is the dinner you made last night that you're looking forward to re-heating the next day at work.

Straight away, the listener encounters the unconventional seasoning of ramshackle sleigh bells and wayward recorder warble that flow throughout the opening instrumental cut, but it's these surprising aromas that make it taste so good.
